My personal blog which covers a handful of main topics and wanders through all sorts of subjects. Mostly you'll see me writing about coding and Python and a bit of Emacs and so on; but sometimes there will be more random thoughts and personal stuff.

It's been a short while since I last made a release of BlogMore; in fact, the time since the last update might be the longest I've gone between versions since the first release. I think this might mean it is actually more or less feature...
I've released Rogallo v0.3.0, which mostly concentrates on adding command line support and sorting support for browsing files in the local filesystem. There are also a couple of cosmetic configuration options thrown in. Configurable...
It looks like I'm going to have a fairly interrupted work day today. I was woken up in the early hours of the morning by a pretty impressive storm. While most of the lightning was IC, it was almost constant for a good thirty minutes or...
I've just made an initial release of a new library related to my ongoing project to build my own Gemini protocol browser. Initially, the code to parse the hypertext format used for Gemini sites, lived in the Rogallo codebase. But despite...
Rogallo v0.2.0 is now available. This version fixes some issues with links, makes gemtext parsing better conform with the specification, and also makes it easier to see where a link will take you. The first issue is a fix to how...
I've just released v0.1.0 of Wasat, my async Gemini Protocol client library for Python. Changes in this release include: Support for generating and storing client certificates to help when handling 6x responses. This is still...
I've just made public, and published to PyPI, v0.1.0 of Rogallo. As mentioned a couple of times recently, it's a terminal-based client for the Gemini Protocol. This is a very early release, with lots of things still to be added. Right...
BagOfStuff started as a very small side project when I was working on OldNews during my winter break, and then into the new year. It began as some support code in OldNews, which was living in a sort of tools section of the codebase (you...
A couple of days ago I thought I had history working well in the Gemini client I'm working on; I was wrong. It worked, but the more I used it the more I felt it wasn't quite right. The main problem was I had a single history structure...
Introduction An occasional collection of things I've recently found on the Internet and added to my bookmarks. Gemini hypertext format specification The specification for the hypertext format used by the Gemini protocol, also known as...
Work continues on my terminal-based Gemini client. So far today I've done a bunch of work on tweaking the presentation of a site, improving some of the widgets that go into the on-screen document. I've also added the start of a history...
I've been trying, on and off, copilot.el. I'm kind of 50/50 on it most of the time. Sometimes it seems to really understand the code around what I'm working on and does a good job of helping complete the thing I'm about to type; other...
Yesterday I got the basic framework of my Gemini client up and going, and this evening I've been working on getting rendering of the gemtext in place. It's not the most tricky format to handle, so the parser and Textual widget to display...
Following on from the initial release of Wasat yesterday, I've got a very basic proof-of-concept client up and running. So far, so good. Here it is loading up my own capsule on GemCities: There's a lot to do yet, it'll be some time...
I can't remember how and where I saw it, but just over a week ago I ran into Project Gemini. Somehow I've never read or seen anything about this before, which is pretty wild considering it's been on the go for around seven years now. As...
